The Wild and Strange Superstitions of the Old West -  Do We Still Believe Them?

Why are some of the toughest, most practical people also deeply superstitious? In this episode, we explore the strange cowboy superstitions and traditions that survived the Old West, from never placing a cowboy hat on a bed to death omens, haunted cattle trails, animal signs, weather lore and unusual rodeo rituals. We also uncover the legend of a famous Texas stampede and if it’s ghosts still wander the plains.
